BAGOFTI

Choreographer Gary Clarke and acclaimed performer Gavin Coward have joined forces to create a dark and captivating world of beauty and the grotesque.

Bagofti is a one man solo show that delves deep into the bold, austere and highly expressive art work of iconic figurative painter Francis Bacon.

Part dance, part sculpture, this short and powerful work is a mesmerising display of sheer physicality in response to the personal life and art works of one of the world’s greatest 20th century artists.

Since 2010, Bagofti has been performed at Leeds City Art Gallery, Live Bites, Public Announcement, LEAP Festival, Spring Loaded, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, stage@leeds Autumn Season, Sheffield Galleries as part of Danceworks UK Autumn Season and Homotopia.
